Anderson silva vs Mauricio Rua

I want to see these 2 fight. After the 2 match up with shogun and machida, Shogun is just to good for machida.

This topic doesn't matter because Anderson has to fight both Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort first, and he WILL LOSE one of those two fights.

Shogun takes this fight. AS won't try that dancing foolishness against shogun, i can guarantee you that. it would be a pretty tentative fight in the earlier stages, but once shogun hurts AS, he'd swoop in for the kill.

Shogun is just to good for machida.

Which is why their fight history is 1-1 :roll:

I seem to remember a fight in 2009 when Rua had trouble with a washed up, and exhausted Mark Coleman.

Machida career losses: 1

Rua career losses: 4

Would be an interesting fight to watch.

I thought about this matchup too. While shogun is aggressive, Anderson has quick and accurate counters. I think that Shogun edges Silva on the ground game even though they are both good. I would have to go with Shogun, but I know that Silva has a good chance of winning.
